Taking mine in today for same hesitation c/o and up grade. Maybe I'll got more info. Had 70% improvement using Techron gas also. Suspect torque control has a lot to do with it.

Quicksilver, took in my 06', 4.4 for the upgrade today. I spoke with him and he rec.
you also get the v.23 upgrade. There was a lot of problems with v.22. This should help with hesitation.

Is your dealer doing the Nav upgrade or are they requiring you to buy it and do it yourself. I took mine in yesterday and they would not update and didn't have the upgrade in stock giving me a phone number to call!
